Title: Ancients Evolution
Post by: Woomeister on October 29, 2001, 05:19:00 pm: Due to the poorer quality of some of the original Ancient ships, No_parking and me are doing a redesign of quite a few of their ships, the first is entering POF testing phase, the AF Phylaki.

Is Inferno using 512x512 textures?

It uses capship maps as:
1. I can't make fighter maps
2. I can't apply fighter maps
3. No-one is willing to help me do the fighter maps

I don't plan to make high res maps, I'll pester one of the other staff to make them (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

aaaaaaaah! after all those guys trying to teach me how easy (yeah right (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/rolleyes.gif) ) it was to do hierarchy, it's my turn to do that for mapping (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif) so:
1) if you can't draw them, do what I did at the begining: reap maps from other ships/games/whatever, copy the parts you want to use and put them all on a single 512*512 map
2) http://www.hard-light.net/vwbb/showthread.php?threadid=4439 ("http://www.hard-light.net/vwbb/showthread.php?threadid=4439")

Nah!

Post by: Woomeister on October 31, 2001, 09:41:00 am: More done (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
(http://www.3dap.com/hlp/hosted/inferno/newaawacs.jpg)
This should be a powerful AWACS, it should be able to take on a fenris cruiser and win with its forward beams (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

(http://www.3dap.com/hlp/hosted/inferno/pylosfinal.jpg)
I liked the Pylos so didn't change it much, it now has 10 more turrets, Lods, debris, and a slight reskin.

What part are the Ancients playing in the story?

Yep it did, full frontal assault for most of the battle and with 12% hull left went along the side and destroyed it. The Shivan beams are faster recharging but are weaker.

Post by: Poksis on November 09, 2001, 07:58:00 am: Yep, the current Cairo for Ancient's is kewl.

But sorry, redesign that AWACS, looks like a bottle or a box to me (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif)
Also, is that a heavy fighter? Thats the only role it will fit to.

Just release the ancients separately please (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/eek.gif)

I plan too, but it will be after Chapter 3 is done, still lots to do and I want to release the pack in one go. However expect to see some of the Ancients ships in earlier chapters...

Post by: No_parking on November 13, 2001, 05:14:00 am: If he ever gets round to fixing the rest of the ships I gave him.

But he's gona teach me to model so hopefully I can make ships for the campaign and take some of the work load from him instead of giving him more

AND WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY AWAC!! (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/evil.gif)
